A good all-round headset

Daniel C, 02.11.2017

Originally bought as a cheap, temporary alternative to a speaker and mic setup I had whilst moving house, this headset has become my go-to for everyday listening, gaming, and communication. Built like a tank, yet lightweight and comfortable enough to use for extended periods of time. They do lack a bit of dynamic range, but having been designed to be used in a theater environment, it's to be expected. The mic arm does feel a little feeble at times, but is stable and isn't going anywhere. Keep the windshield on though. There's plenty of space in them, and will suit all head sizes - having a big head and large ears my self, the cups are surprisingly comfortable, and theres still room for adjustment too. There is little noise spill, and the closed back design also stops a lot of outside noise as well.

Overall, very solid construction, sound quality to match, and a price tag that cannot be argued with.

Superlux HMC 660 X - Field Tested in Battle Zones

At first I was a little dubious when I saw the price of the Superlux HMC 660 X Headset. So I decided to order a set to test it out. I was very impressed when I received it and tested it, I'd been searching for quite some time for a pair of headsets but the prices were just to expensive!Note:1. I would recommend buying an extra windshield to cover the existing mic as I found it really helped a lot.2. This is a condenser mic and needs phantom power, they will not run off a usual 24/48v phantom powered desk, which I found was it's only drawback!I recommend the Millenium PP2B phantom Power Supply, which is switchable between 12v and 48v (it takes two mics, set the switch to 12v position!) and can also run off two 9v batteries. The batteries lasted a whole event which was over 7hrs of recording.

I use four of these headsets in my setup, (for commentary and monitoring system) and I am so pleased with the outcome.
